Lives In	Pelican Town
Address	Medical Clinic
Marriage	Yes

Harvey is the town doctor and a marriage candidate who lives in a small apartment above the Medical Clinic in Pelican Town. He is kind, nervous and deeply devoted to his patients, and he worries about the health of the whole community. He is older than the other bachelors and spends most of his time working, but he hides a lifelong dream of flying. His loved gifts suit a farm with a few Kegs and Preserves Jars, because he adores Wine, Pickles and Coffee. Once married, he keeps working at the clinic twice a week and cooks dinner for the farmer at home.

Lore

Harvey takes his job seriously, perhaps too seriously. He says he feels responsible for the health of everyone in town, which is stressful in such a small place. He is glad he can build good relationships with his patients. Money is sometimes tight, and he admits a little guiltily that flu season is good for business.

He gives health advice at every chance. He warns the farmer not to overwork, to wash hands during flu season and to avoid sunburn. He even notes that alcohol is not good for the body, while admitting that a glass of fine Stardew Valley wine is hard to resist.

Away from work, Harvey loves aeroplanes. His room is full of model planes and a working radio, and he dreamed of becoming a pilot before his poor eyesight and fear of heights got in the way.

Schedule

On Tuesdays and Thursdays Harvey gives villagers their check-ups, moving between the exam room and the waiting room. On most other days he works the clinic counter in the morning and takes a walk around town in the afternoon. In Spring and Summer he often walks to the park west of the town square, and in Fall he follows the path toward the Beach. On Fridays he visits Pierre's General Store in the afternoon.

On rainy days he goes upstairs to his room at noon, listens to the radio and reads, then heads to the Stardrop Saloon in the evening. He also visits the Night Market in Winter and runs the medical tent at the Desert Festival.

Relationships

Harvey works with Maru, who helps out at the clinic as a nurse. He stands beside her at the Luau and dances with her at the Flower Dance if neither is partnered with the farmer. He looks after George's health, even when George does not want the advice.

Gifts

Harvey loves Coffee, Pickles, Wine, Truffle Oil and the Super Meal, plus the universal loves. Pickles are a cheap way to keep him happy, since any vegetable in a Preserves Jar works. Coffee is easy too, because a Keg turns Coffee Beans into Coffee quickly. He likes most forage, including mushrooms, Leeks, Spring Onions and even Wild Horseradish and Holly. He also likes Quartz, Duck Eggs, Duck Feathers and Goat Milk.

As a doctor, he frowns on sugary or rich food. He dislikes cakes, cookies, pizza, bread, Ice Cream, pancakes and cheese, asking whether the gift is really healthy. He hates Coral, Nautilus Shells, Rainbow Shells, Salmonberries and Spice Berries, saying he might be allergic. Gifts on his birthday in Winter count eight times as much.

At the Movie Theater he loves The Miracle At Coldstar Ranch and The Zuzu City Express. His favourite snacks are Apple Slices, Jasmine Tea and Stardrop Sorbet.

These gifts are the ones this villager loves most.

Heart Events

At two hearts, the farmer enters George's house and finds Harvey giving George a private check-up. George refuses to change his habits and asks the farmer for a second opinion. Backing Harvey's advice pleases him, and siding with George costs friendship.

At four hearts, Harvey gives the farmer an overdue check-up at the clinic and notices a racing pulse. Blaming nerves or farm work is fine, but questioning whether he is a real doctor costs a lot.

At six hearts, a visit to Pierre's General Store finds Harvey at the dance aerobics class. He is out of breath and embarrassed to be seen, and he explains he is trying to stay healthy as he gets older. Promising to keep his secret pleases him.

At eight hearts, the farmer finds Harvey in his room using his radio to contact a passing pilot. To his surprise, the pilot answers. The two watch the plane fly over, and Harvey confesses his old dream of becoming a pilot.

At ten hearts, a letter invites the farmer to the Railroad. Harvey has rented a hot air balloon, and despite his fear of heights the two take it into the sky together.

At fourteen hearts, after marriage, the farmer enters the twice-upgraded Farmhouse in the evening and finds Harvey cooking. He has made angel hair pasta with clams, asks about the farmer's day and offers to wash the dishes.

Marriage

Harvey can be married after reaching ten hearts and accepting a Bouquet, using the Mermaid's Pendant bought from the Old Mariner on a rainy day. He moves into the Farmhouse and adds his own room, but he still goes to work at the clinic on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Mondays he runs errands in town. At home he is gentle and supportive, tells the farmer not to worry about him and sometimes gets up early to feed the animals.

Notes

The clinic sells medicine. The Energy Tonic restores a large amount of energy, and the Muscle Remedy cures exhaustion. Dating every bachelor at the same time and seeing each ten-heart event leads to a group scene in the Saloon. Carrying a Rabbit's Foot turns it into a friendly game of pool.
